CAMPFIRE is a multisensory dance experience at the end of the world. Two refugees of a desolate Mars colony encounter each other as strangers in a vast landscape far different than the utopia they were promised. When survival is their primary objective, their humanity comes into question. In this glimpse of an apathetic future, the audience is intimately involved in testing the resilience of our human capacity for empathy. CAMPFIRE engages performers and audiences in a collective experience akin to gathering around a campfire.
